Well, glad to (preliminary) report my hunt is over!
Still in the process of closing out-of-state but ... if all continues as planned ... I will be very happy to share my experience and referral once delivered Sunday.
The team was patient and everyone got involved to work it out on New Year's Eve...
Agree regarding drop from sticker is what matters, unfortunately too many dealers play with that $$ drop and then add back Protection and even Freight.
A 2023 on the lot in August 2024, that's what I call leverage.
Do you happen to remember, besides your sales tax, what the fees and add-ons (i.e. paint protection, LoJacK, Freight) amounted to? This is where they offset negotiations and act like it's a crime to remove the charge.
While LoJack...
Scott - Thanks for this feedback, very very helpful. Looks like your purchase with fees and gross taxes was 80% of MSRP. Maff isn’t my strong suit … that is a solid deal! Is it Dec 31st money?? Maybe not but that’s me confusing “Hope” with “Reality”. Good work my friend and thanks
Yes, OTD Price \ MSRP. My sales tax is 6% (which is factored in my OTD).
Nevermind all the add ons and various fees … it just seems that the haggling stalls when the OTD price arrives at 85% of the MSRP.
Guess I’ll see what today and Monday brings.
One caveat, I gotta give sales teams respect...
With all the deals advertised on 2024s this Fall, I decided this was a good time to pass down my JKUR to my son and get a Gladiator Mojave or Rubicon.
I consider myself a pretty effective negotiator and resourceful with promotions etc, however, I'm not finding the deals reported on the forums...
